Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies: Weapon Upgrades, Ammo Mods, and Support
Jingle Hells, the holiday-themed map in Black Ops 6 Zombies, offers a unique twist on weapon progression and item acquisition. Unlike the standard game mode, the Arsenal Machine and Workbench are absent. This guide details how to upgrade weapons, obtain Ammo Mods, and acquire equipment and support items.
Weapon Upgrades in Jingle Hells
Forget the Arsenal Machine; Aether Tools are your key to weapon upgrades. These consumable items, found in various rarities (color-coded), upgrade your weapon to their corresponding tier. A purple (Legendary) Aether Tool, for example, elevates your weapon to Legendary rarity.
Here's how to acquire Aether Tools:
- Church Spire: Throw a grenade at the zombie head atop the church spire. The resulting zombie drop contains a chance at an Aether Tool; higher rounds yield higher rarity tools.
- Bank Vault: Loot Keys unlock safety deposit boxes within the Bank Vault, offering a chance at Aether Tools of varying rarities.
- S.A.M. Trials: Completing these trials, especially at higher reward tiers, can yield Aether Tools.
- Hidden Power GobbleGum: Instantly upgrade your weapon to Legendary rarity.
- Mystery Box, Wall Buys, Holiday Presents: Weapons obtained from these sources will naturally increase in rarity as the round progresses.
Ammo Mods in Jingle Hells
Currently, Cryo Freeze is the only available Ammo Mod in Jingle Hells. It drops as a consumable item. The primary source is Holiday Presents, which offer increasingly better loot with higher round numbers.
Holiday Presents are obtained through:
- Enemy Kills: They occasionally drop from slain enemies.
- Naughty or Nice Power-up: The stocking-shaped power-up grants either a "Nice" (multiple Holiday Presents) or "Naughty" (vermin enemies) UI banner.
- S.A.M. Machine: The S.A.M. Machine spawns several Holiday Presents upon activation.
Equipment and Support in Jingle Hells
The absence of the Workbench eliminates Salvage-based equipment crafting. However, equipment and support items can still be acquired:
- Enemy Kills: Equipment drops from regular enemies.
- Holiday Presents: These can contain equipment.
- Special/Elite Enemy Kills: Support items drop from these tougher foes.
- S.A.M. Trials: These trials can award equipment and support.
- Bank Vault Deposit Boxes: These boxes offer a chance at equipment and support.
Mastering these methods ensures you're well-equipped to survive the festive chaos of Jingle Hells in Black Ops 6 Zombies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
